Shinji immediately revived back, all his flesh began to regenerate as Poseidon prepared for another thrust of his trident.
His thrust moved at the speed of teleportation, space began to bend around him as he thrusted forwards, seeming hitting a structure made of glass.
“Behind you”.
He had swapped positions with one of these echoes, as soundwaves began to bombard the God’s ears.
Shinji pointed his finger towards thr back of Poseidon’s head a single bug landed on Poseidon’s neck as a small ember began to form on the tip of his finger.
“Boom”.
Poseidon turned around, slashing Shinji’s hand in half before he could even fire off the skill.
Poseidon’s eyes glowed a bright blue as sharp spear like waves of water shot towards Shinji at the same time, piercing through his body like a kebab.
He shattered like a pane of glass as Shinji stood directly behind Poseidon with his right hand completely gone, blood dripping from the wound.
“COWARD FIGHT ME LIKE A MAN”!
The God yelled out with a heartfelt scream.
Shinji began to float away backwards, flying away to create distance from him.
“Nah, I don’t wanna”.
Shinji couldn’t even see the trident as Shinji was immediately pierced by the trident, his eyes rolled into the back of his head as blood gushed out.
[6 Lives Remaining]
Poseidon jumped forwards, right before Shinji managed to completely revive, there was a slight delay to Shinji’s revivals, barely noticeable during normal time but within the bubble of time they were in, it felt like an entire second.
One thought went through Shinji’s mind.
[That Trident was moving on its own, something similar to Gae Bulg from Cu Chulainn’s legend, a spear that pierces its target no matter what yet it managed to pierce my arm, seems that it isn’t perfectly accurate]

[5 Lives Remaining]
Thousands of tiny and dense barriers coated the surface of Shinji’s skin yet Poseidon had broken through them so easily due to his brute strength, something like a supernova could barely do damage to the barrier yet Poseidon could tear through it just like paper.
“Just die already”.
[4 Lives Remaining]
A flash went through Shinji’s mind, it was like meeting Erebus for the first time, a single bead of sweat went down his cheek.
“Shit, I don’t wanna die”.
[3 Lives Remaining]
Time began to slow down rapidly, it even seemed as if Poseidon was slowing down.
“Ultimate Ability, Martial Ring”.
The entire area became pitch black as the only lit up area was the very ring that were standing upon, a white square with ropes surrounding them to make sure they don’t fall off.
Within the dimension, all of Shinji’s attacks are multiplied by 2, including the damage and the speed of the attack.
Shinji rushed forwards, faster than ever before, immediately twisting Poseidon’s wrist to completely immobilize his fists.
Poseidon looked around as Shinji sucker punched him in the face.
Poseidon was rapidly bleeding golden ichor from his nose and mouth, it was the first time Shinji landed a solid hit on him, most of the fight he had to play defensive.
“Where are you looking horse boy”?
Shinji rapidly started to increase the rate of his punches, pummeling him like a sandbag, each punch from Shinji was like a supernova blowing up directly in Poseidon’s face.
“What’s wrong? Aren’t you going to use your ultimate”?!
Poseidon replied with his bloodied face and broken jaw making his ability to speak way harder.
“I don’t need it”.
The ultimate dimension was destroyed the moment it started, the trident began rushing back into Shinji’s hands once more, shattering the walls of the dimension like glass.
Shinji was immediately pierced in the neck by Poseidon’s trident, blood smeared all over the golden glow of the trident, dirtying it with red stains but Poseidon did not care at that point, all he wanted was for Shinji to die.
[2 Lives Remaining]
“You’re not even close to beating me down, you’re the worst God I’ve ever seen”.
He was shaking and sweating rapidly, he whispered to himself.
[If only I got all my skills back]
Blood gushed down Shinji’s arm as the space around them warped, the distance between them rapidly increased as Shinji’s entire face was dripping with blood.
Shinji splashed his own blood on Poseidon’s eyes, blinding him even for a bare second, Poseidon went completely wild and fired his trident violently.
“PERISH”!!
Shinji stared at the Trident that was rapidly coming towards him as he uttered a single word.
“Come”.
Shinji put out his hand as Poseidon appeared in front of him, he held the God’s neck and waist tightly, Shinji’s eyes glowed bright green as the Trident pushed through Poseidon’s chest and Shinji’s too.
The bug that had been put onto Poseidon’s neck was used to transport him directly into Shinji’s hand.
“This is why I hate you humans!! I should’ve wiped you out eons ago”!!
Shinji spoke with a blood filled mouth, his words were chewed and barely listenable.
“Your Trident I figured it out, it hits the opponent before its even fired, like it has a mind if its own, when I tried to stop it, it moved on its own and every single time it hit me”.
Poseidon collapsed to the floor as his spirit floated away from the homunculus, the blue light within the body’s light began to fade to black.
Shinji grasped the gaping hole in his chest, as the muscles slowly began healing as he wiped his mouth of blood.
“Purify”.
